Panorama Travel was founded in May 2005 with a clear and enduring vision: to pioneer meaningful connections across borders—both within and beyond—by fostering a deeper understanding of people, their cultures, and the remarkable landscapes they call home.”

Each of our programs is carefully tailored to take place during the optimal season, ensuring you experience the very best of Oman’s diverse landscapes and activities. The most popular time to visit is between October and March, when the weather is pleasantly mild. However, summer also offers unique attractions. From June to August, you can witness the spectacular turtle-watching season. Additionally, from late June onwards, the Dhofar region in southern Oman boasts a temperate climate and lush scenery, making it an ideal summer retreat. Destinations such as Jebel Shams, Al Ashkhara, and the Arabian Sea coastline also offer remarkable experiences during the summer months.

Panorama Travel offers private, customized family holidays tailored to your needs.

Omani cuisine is a rich reflection of the country’s diverse ethnic and tribal heritage, blending flavors from the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent. As Oman is a conservative Islamic country, all food served is strictly halal. In hotels, meals are typically offered buffet-style with a wide selection of clearly labeled dishes, including vegetarian, low-fat, and other dietary options. At Panorama Travel, we believe meals are an essential part of the cultural experience. We carefully design each itinerary to include authentic culinary moments that give you a true taste of Omani cuisine. If you have specific dietary requirements or preferences, please inform us at the time of booking. Our team will be happy to accommodate your needs and ensure your meals are both enjoyable and appropriate throughout your journey.
